[QUOTE="KatH_1967, post: 1345367, member: 229826"] Thanks so much for your reply. Okay, I've done some work and here's where I'm at. I did have a backup in the "Address Book" icon on my Mac so I dumped those into my phone along with the other mess then went into hotmail contacts and cleaned it all up and now here is what I have that I am trying to get to iCloud: - all contacts from my hotmail address book - all contacts from my work contacts address book (personal work contacts list, not global) Right now, I have set up both my hotmail and my work (exchange) mail on my iPhone4 and so all contacts are on the phone (albeit in two different merged address books). So my next step is trying to figure out how to get these two address books (each makes up about 50% of 125 contacts) into iCloud from the phone so that I can have everything managed from one place going forward. If I type a new address into the phone, it goes into iCloud, and vice-versa, but for some reason I can't get the contacts on the phone to upload to iCloud. I've tried: - turning off the contacts in iCloud on the phone then turning it back on to force it to sync - clicking the "Back Up Now" button in iCloud in on the phone - clicking the "refresh contacts" in the web version of the iClouds address book There still remains nothing in my iCloud contacts book. Anything I haven't tried that you can share would be super! Thanks so much! [/QUOTE]
